How those autistic?
Does make all strategy game autistic?
All grand strategy, automation and city building games. I don’t make the rules.
Ah yes, my favorite type of meme: “DAE think things that require thinking are autistic???”
Somehow it’s okay for autism but the “R word” is highly offensive. I guess it’s supposed to be a good thing because we gatekeep an attention span longer than fifteen seconds behind being autistic?
What the hell is the R word
“retard” I guess, but I have no idea why they brought it up
Because I think there’s a valid comparison between calling dumb things removed, and calling complex things autistic.
Not at all. “removed” is/was regularly used as a slur against people with developmental disorders, including ASD peeps. conflating it with dumb is harmful and/or triggering to the same people.
Your problem here is that you actually feel that being autistic is bad, and therefore are insulted to be likened to such.
“Autistic” has been used as a slur for a couple of years now, and your comic is no different. It’s used against people with different minds and medical conditions. What makes a game autistic? Because it’s different than other games? Because they require more thought and work? Because they’re busier games? Using the word autistic to describe them is insensitive to those with the condition and misrepresentation of what the word means. Maybe you could use a word that already meets the definition of what you’re saying rather than attacking an entire demographic?
Who’s attacking? It’s not used as an insult here. If you think it is, you have a problem yourself
What exactly is it saying then? What does it mean to say that a game is autistic and how is that not targeted towards people with autism?
Dude, when one is self-depricating, why you gonna pile up the hate? This post was -supposed- to be funny, There are several people who were entertained, and none harmed.
I agree, the humour is not refined and the butt of the joke are autistic people, yet I’d argue that you’re trying to censor bad humour and that you’re on the wrong platform for that.
I’m not trying to censor anything. People can post whatever they want, which means I also get to call out when I feel someone is using language in bad taste that I disagree with. You and OP can definitely ignore me and move on, but maybe others agree with me and want to see comments like mine. Also, I wasn’t the first person to say something, I supported another comment with a similar sentiment first.
